Im trying to play shadow of the colossus but the intro is a bit laggy. i read thats a common problem. I get 20 fps with the intro.
The weird thing is, i cant seem to get past the intro, i tried all the buttons (start,x ect. ect.) but i cant skip it. Any idea how?

I played through the entire game with keyboard just fine, maybe I just have more experience using a keyboard.
Also, you should update to the latest PCSX2 beta so you can use the VU Cycle Stealing speed hack, it works well with SotC.
